Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao face off in the highly awaited main event bout dubbed “The Fight of the Century” on May 2 inside a sold-out MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, NV; the epic showdown between the global icons is poised to generate $595 million, which is more money than that of what many minted casinos in Sin City accumulate in three months of business.

The ultimate once in a lifetime clash between the 38-year-old Grand Rapids native and the pride of The Philippines has unsurprisingly witnessed tickets for “The Fight of the Century” sold beyond the excess of $300,000, coupled with multi-million dollar ringside seats purchased by passionate boxing afficianados in part to agreeing to a transaction in multi-million dollar credit lines within Las Vegas casinos; the Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao spectacle will be sandwiched between a David Copperfield magic show and a live concert courtesy of “We Belong Together” pop icon, Mariah Carey; Carey inked a $50 million residency deal in Las Vegas in January 2015.

Paramount Pictures announces the UK release of the new Chris Rock comedy film “Top Five” on Friday 8th May. Pulsing with the rhythm of his greatest stand-up, Chris Rock’s TOP FIVE takes things to the next level, revelling in the high and the low, and blending a star-studded comedic romp with an irresistible romance. TOP FIVE digs under the surface of show business, politics, rap, and the exigencies of being black and famous today—holding it all up to the light in the way only Chris Rock can. Mingling echoes of Woody Allen and Dick Gregory with the energy of Kanye West and Jay Z, TOP FIVE is an original and radically new kind of American movie.
